This system is just a lot of fun. When you build something (and it doesn't have to be like a building), you have a whole new perspective on where the forces go: One wrong move and it collapses. On the other hand, when you build a structure like the star shown here, it is durable enough to hand--from other geomags, of course. The magnets and spheres all fit together easily, but you find after a while that the direction that you put the bars matters. And, being magnets, they sometimes move on their own...

There are also small panels available in other sets, which make more stable structures.

Both I and my granddaughter (she is 5) like it, so I think that the age given of 3 yrs. to 15 is a little restrictive. Actually, I don't think that most kids would get much out of it until they are 5 or so, but after that, I can't picture an upper age. There is a website at the manufacturer's that has ideas to pursue (if you have thousands of parts). I enjoyed it enough to order more--it may be addictive--but even with only a hundred pieces, you can build some fun structure. .

Also, if you have children who put things in their mouths (either from age or habit), all the small parts could be a problem.

This is a great toy, both educational and just plain fun.

We have several sets of Geo Mags and all my kids love them. I wish they still made the original shorter magnets but these are just as fun. They made a nice addition to our older sets.
